Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific resources before Linux equivalents and omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform examples. For example, the link for configuring managed identities on a VM points only to a Windows VM guide, and there are no Linux-specific or cross-platform instructions for enabling managed identities. Additionally, the code samples and tool references (such as Azure CLI) are platform-neutral, but the absence of Linux-focused guidance or parity in example coverage is notable.
Recommendations:
- Include links or references to both Windows and Linux VM managed identity configuration guides, or use a cross-platform guide where available.
- When listing platform-specific instructions, present Linux and Windows options together or in parallel, rather than defaulting to Windows.
- Add explicit Linux (or cross-platform) examples for enabling managed identity and for any command-line steps.
- Ensure that all code and CLI examples are clearly marked as cross-platform, and provide any necessary notes for Linux users (e.g., shell syntax differences, environment variable usage).
